  • An Axios reporter took a Kia EV6 on a 1,500 mile road trip.
  • She said it showed the US is not quite ready for an electric-car revolution.
  • She and her husband stopped to charge the car 12 times over the course of the trip from Michigan to Florida.

Stopping once every 125 miles :roll:

Man, you would think they would put an energy gauge on those things.  Probably would keep the user from driving it to 0%

I guess FORD really does stand for Found On Road Dead

Not shocked.  The short range battery is only 232 miles.  And that's in optimal conditions. In the winter you experience a huge drop.  

 

That's my one regret with the mach, we didn't opt for the extended range.  It's excellent for most situations (I've been to the gas station once in 2023 since the bulk of our local driving is with the Mach), but going to Allentown and back is pretty much a no go unless we stop and charge it or my folks put in a 240 v outlet in their garage (cant, panel is full, already tried).  They do have a reachable 240v outlet since the laundry room is adjacent to the garage but its a 3 prong one <_<

what receptacle does the mach need to plug in? im sure we can wire up an adaptor.

Oh, I found a 3 to 4 prong adapter.  Not recommended given the draw it takes.

 

This is what I put in the garage. (not the exact one, but you get the idea)  F'n wire costs these days is as much as an EV charger because the box is in the basement on the opposite end of our house <_<

they stopped a bunch of times because they had "anxiety" and for sure there aren't as many electric charging stations so they had to plan accordingly for a long distance trip.

anybody with any sense who sees electric as the future also recognizes that driving an EV in the US v2023 is going to come with early adopter challenges.

imagine the same people trying a "1500 mile trip" in 1930. You'd see similar levels of "anxiety" and need to plan out your trip. 

it's a long transition. but it will transition.
